Slippery Slope

No.24618721 View ViewReplyOriginalReport
Since nothing's happening, let's talk about the biggest slippery slope in the series, mega evolution. In its current state, they:

>cuts down the number of new pokemon
>players barely use most of them, being post game and limited to 1 per team
>some megas are objectively better than others, limiting team building for competitive
>continuously raises the power creep as GF wants to make players use the new ones
>divides the playerbase in opinion, or "if my bro doesn't get a mega I'll be skipping next game"
>clutters the bags; next gen we'll be approaching 100 mega stones
>limits time spent on new features, as megas are considered one of the series "selling points" now
>strips weak pokemon of any future; they can't evolve anymore and are stuck with a weak mega/useless ability
>catering to genwunners can backfire; they're not the kind who'll stick with the series

I wonder how many people are actually ok with the above.
